Telegram Mini App
Умное Кафе
A Telegram-first ordering system for cafés and coffee shops: guests scan a QR code, open the Mini App, choose items, submit an order, and track its status without a separate app.
Context
The project's challenge and context
The goal was to create a clear digital journey for a local business, allowing customers to order quickly from their table while the venue's team manages orders through familiar tools.
Challenge
What needed to be solved
- Give guests a quick path to ordering inside Telegram without an overloaded interface.
- Connect the customer Mini App, backend, order statuses, and operator side into one working system.
- Prepare the solution for real everyday use, beyond demonstrating an idea.
Constraints
- The journey must remain fast even for someone opening the service for the first time.
- Operators need a clear, manageable control point without unnecessary routine manual work.
- The Telegram environment and web layer impose their own UX and architectural constraints.
Implementation
What was done
I designed the product structure and divided the system into the customer journey, backend, operator side, and infrastructure.
I built a Mini App in React and TypeScript with a clear ordering flow inside Telegram.
I organized the backend, status handling, notifications, and connections to operations.
I prepared the infrastructure foundation and end-to-end checks so the solution could be developed further safely.
Role and stack
My role
The full fullstack cycle: product breakdown, architecture, backend, Mini App frontend, integrations, and launch preparation.
Stack
Outcome
What it brought to the business and team
The result was a Telegram-first ordering journey that reduces friction between scanning a QR code and placing an order.
Operators gained a clear workspace for managing venues and the order flow.
The project became the foundation of a product that can expand without changing the channel used to interact with guests.
